The data sheet for the Core i7 CPUs shows this linear relationship. As the watts go up, so does the Tcase temperature which is the temperature measured at the center of your CPU. This graph is based on the OEM cooler. With after market cooling or water, the slope of the line will be different but the relationship will stay the same. More watts = higher temps.

When running a stress program like Prime 95 Small FFTs, the core temperature can be a good 20C beyond the Tcase temperature.
